Concubine

Chapter 414 The Strange Decree
After more than half a month, the magistrate's office in Bazhou.

Yang Qiuchi is in the back garden of the Inner Yamen, holding his son and half lying on the Taishi chair to bask in the sun.The winter sun in Bazhou is so rare, it shines warmly on people.Liu Ruobing sat quietly at the side, making a padded robe for Yang Qiuchi, looking up at Yang Qiuchi and his son from time to time, with a sweet smile on his lips.

The Chinese New Year will be half a month away, and the city of Bazhou has already been filled with lights and festoons, full of joy.Liu Ruobing was rushing to make New Year's clothes for Yang Qiuchi, and Yang Qiuchi said that he would buy them on the street, but Liu Ruobing would not do it, but wanted to sew them by himself and make warm ones.Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to let her go.

After Liu Ruobing gave birth to her son, she agreed to leave Yang Qiuchi without her son for the time being, so that father and son could reunite for a few more days. As for when they would leave in the future, both of them avoided talking about it. Yang Qiuchi hoped that the warmth of the family would allow Liu Ruobing to stay in the future down.

Liu Ruobing lived in Yang Qiuchi's inner office with her son and Song Yun'er in the back garden.The people in the yamen and the relatives and friends in Bazhou city all thought that this was the child of Song Yuner's master Liu Ruobing and senior Liu, so no one wentssip about it.

When the three of them were enjoying the warmth of the sun and the warmth of the family, Song Yuner hurried into the back garden and shouted from afar: "Brother~! Brother~!"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, seeing Song Yuner's anxious look, did something happen?

Song Yun'er ran up to her: "Brother~! The imperial decree has arrived, and the father-in-law who announced the decree is waiting for you in the greenhouse in the front hall, and asks you to go and receive the decree."

Surprised and delighted, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Is that Mr. Li?"

"Yes!" Song Yun'er said.

Haha, for breaking the Jianwen case and the Chuanbang case, arresting Yang Yingneng, Li Zhiye and others, I don’t know what rewards will be offered this time.

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly handed his son to Liu Ruobing, hurriedly put on his official robes, and went out of the inner office to the conservatory.

Eunuch Li was sipping tea on the grand teacher's chair in the greenhouse, with two young eunuchs standing behind him.Seeing Yang Qiuchi come in, he chuckled: "Master Yang, we meet again."

Yang Qiuchi cupped his hands and said, "Don't you come here unharmed, father-in-law? Tsk tsk, I haven't seen you for a few months, and my father-in-law has become more and more immortal."

"Hahaha," Eunuch Li looked up to the sky and laughed, "Your Excellency Yang has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and he has really lived up to the cultivation of the emperor and the Commander."

"Where is it?" Yang Qiuchi bowed and said humbly, "It's all because the emperor knows everything, and the commander and envoy are well dispatched. The humble job is just running errands."

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time. Master Yang already knows the way of being an official." Eunuch Li nodded approvingly, "Master Yang, please kneel down to accept the order."

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down on his knees.

Eunuch Li took out a golden scroll from his bosom, slowly unfolded it, and read aloud: "By God, the emperor ordered: I will write to Zhenyuan Bo, the special envoy of the Jinyiwei Commander and Yang Qiuchi, the prefect of Bazhou in Sichuan Province, and bring Mrs. Tai on the Lantern Festival." Madam, come to Beijing to meet me. This is it."

This imperial decree is very simple, but Yang Qiuchi understood it, he was slightly taken aback, why didn't he award anything, let me go to the capital to meet the emperor on the Lantern Festival?After kowtowing three times and shouting long live three times, he took the imperial decree with both hands and stood up.

Eunuch Li looked at Yang Qiuchi mysteriously: "Master Yang, you must not know why the emperor summoned you?"

"Yes, I'm going to ask my father-in-law for advice."

"This time, Yu Xuan, Shen Shisheng and other ministers who have solved the big case of Jianwen and the ship gang all received rewards, but the emperor did not reward Mrs. Yang, but let you bring Mrs. Tai and Mrs. to Beijing, and singled out the Lantern Festival Master Yang still doesn't understand the mystery inside?"

Yang Qiuchi's heart moved: "The emperor wants to reward me personally?"

"Hey, not only that, I also want to invite your whole family to enjoy the Lantern Festival lanterns with the emperor."

oh?Haha, hahaha, Yang Qiuchi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. It must be that the credit this time was too great. The emperor felt that it was not grand enough to directly issue a reward. Besides, he worked so hard for him for so long. The official has also become the earl and the special envoy of Jin Yiwei, and he has not even seen the face of the emperor or even the commander Ji Gang, isn't it too embarrassing.

Excited, Yang Qiuchi thanked Eunuch Li heavily for filling a small box full of pearls, agate, gold and silver jewelry.Of course Eunuch Li accepted it with a smile.

After seeing off Eunuch Li, Yang Qiuchi hurried back to the inner office with the imperial decree.In the living room of the inner yamen, Liu Ruobing hugged her son, and Song Yuner and Hong Ling waited excitedly and nervously for Yang Qiuchi to come back.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi came back, the three of them surrounded him, and Liu Ruobing asked, "Qiuchi, how is it? What did the edict say?"

Yang Qiuchi handed over the imperial decree, Liu Ruobing hugged her son and didn't take it empty-handed, Song Yuner took it, opened it and read it again, but couldn't understand what it meant.Yang Qiuchi repeated Eunuch Li's explanation, and the three of them finally understood.Both Song Yuner and Hong Ling were happy for Yang Qiuchi, but Liu Ruobing looked sad while holding her son.

Yang Qiuchi was startled, and immediately thought of the reason for Liu Ruobing's sadness. He dragged Liu Ruobing back to the back garden and asked, "Bing'er, come back to Wuchang with me and enter the capital, okay?"

Liu Ruobing looked sad: "Qiu Chi, I... I don't want to see your wives and concubines... Really..., I... I want to take my son away..."

Yang Qiuchi became anxious, and tightly grasped Liu Ruobing's sleeve: "No, no! Bing'er, our family is so happy together, do you have the heart to tear our family apart?"

Liu Ruobing hugged her son tightly, lowered her head and did not speak.

Yang Qiuchi knew from her expression that he did not convince her.I was anxious and didn't know what to do.

It seems that it is not feasible to use emotion to keep people, what should I do?Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, if Liu Ruobing took his son away, then even if he captured Emperor Jianwen, no matter how high he was promoted and how much money he made, what would be the point.

Catch Emperor Jianwen?This thought flashed in his mind, and Yang Qiuchi remembered what Bai Sumei said in Wuchang - when Emperor Jianwen was captured, it was probably the time when the rabbit died.

Yang Qiuchi slowly let go of Liu Ruobing's hand, walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, sighed: "Okay, take your son away."

Liu Ruobing couldn't bear it, so she carried her son and walked over, sat down on the stone bench next to her, and said softly, "Qiuchi, don't do this, I will bring my son to visit you from time to time in the future."

"Okay, it's just that this time I'm going to Beijing, I'm afraid there will be more or less good luck. I don't know if you and your son will still see me."

Liu Ruobing was startled, and asked, "What? More bad luck than good? How could it be? Didn't the emperor tell you to take the whole family to the Lantern Festival and award them face to face?"

Yang Qiuchi looked sad: "Bing'er, we are all too kind. There is a saying called rabbit dead dog cooking, don't you know? The rabbits are all caught, what do you want us hounds to do?"

"Finished? No, isn't Jianwen not caught yet?"

Yang Qiuchi thought of Zheng He's voyages to the west. According to legend, he was looking for Emperor Jianwen, and said casually: "I guess the emperor has already known through other channels that Jianwen is dead or has fled overseas. The emperor thinks that there is no threat to him. I have been arresting Jianwen Yudang before. This is a court battle related to the power struggle between their uncles and nephews. This kind of thing must not be known to others, so as not to lose the face of the royal family. Unfortunately, I know too much, no If you kill me, the emperor may not be able to sleep..."

Since childhood, Liu Ruobing has been practicing martial arts with his master in the deep mountains and dense forests, and rarely interacts with others. The truth of Yang Qiuchi's words was originally something he had been worried about, but now he said it in advance, let's talk about history There are many such precedents in the world, and it is not groundless.When Liu Ruobing heard that what Yang Qiuchi said made sense, she couldn't help becoming anxious: "Qiuchi, what should I do?"

Yang Qiuchi shook his head helplessly: "What else can I do, the king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had to die. So, after much deliberation, you should take our son and leave, and when I am raped and beheaded by the whole family, it will be counted as a crime." After our Yang family keeps it, the incense will not be cut off."

Liu Ruobing was in a hurry: "No! I won't let you die! As long as I'm here, they won't be able to touch a single hair of your hair!" These words were said with such confidence.But after finishing speaking, Liu Ruobing felt something was wrong again, she was going to take the child away, how could she say "as long as I'm here", she didn't know what to do for a while.

Yang Qiuchi glanced at her secretly, seeing that she was already hesitating, he sighed again, retreating to advance, and said: "Maybe, it's just that I am trying to save a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. The emperor may really just invite I went to spend the Lantern Festival together, and presented the reward in person. He is a wise king, and he should not kill innocent people indiscriminately like those foolish kings."

Liu Ruobing said anxiously: "How can you gamble on luck in such a thing? If he really wants to kill you, it will be too late! Otherwise, let's hide, go to a place where he can't find you."

Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly: "If the emperor wants to kill me, even if he hides in the remotest corners of the earth, he will find us. Besides, I can't resist the order and hide because I guess the emperor might kill me, right?"

"That's reasonable," Liu Ruobing thought for a while, "I can't let you take risks, I want to accompany you to the capital, and if the emperor really murders me, I'll rob you and run away."

Yang Qiuchi was secretly happy, and said gratefully: "Bing'er, are you really willing to accompany me to Beijing?"

"Well, I can't let our son lose his father!"

"Hey, thank you Bing'er!" Yang Qiuchi smiled, now he can only take one step at a time, let Liu Ruobing stay first.Anyway, I can continue with this move.Yang Qiuchi said: "Then when shall we leave?"

"Since the Lantern Festival has to arrive in the capital, we don't have much time. We must leave immediately. During the Spring Festival, we will arrive at Wuchang's...Wuchang's home to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, we will set off for the capital immediately."
